NAME

       ibdmsh - InfiniBand data model - an extentended TCL shell

DESCRIPTION

       ibdmsh is a TCL shell extended with interface for the IB data model.  To use this shell
       you will write TCL code that directly access the IB data model objects and functions.

       The following sub sections provide detailed definition for those objects and API.

IBDM Constants

   Node Types
       The following constants are used by the node object type field

           [ Constant : int  ] $IB_UNKNOWN_NODE_TYPE = IB_UNKNOWN_NODE_TYPE

           [ Constant : int  ] $IB_SW_NODE = IB_SW_NODE

           [ Constant : int  ] $IB_CA_NODE = IB_CA_NODE

   Log Verbosity Flags
       The following constants are used as argument bits for the global variable
       $FabricUtilsVerboseLevel

           [ Constant : int  ] $FABU_LOG_NONE = 0x0

           [ Constant : int  ] $FABU_LOG_ERROR = 0x1

           [ Constant : int  ] $FABU_LOG_INFO = 0x2

           [ Constant : int  ]  $FABU_LOG_VERBOSE = 0x4

IBDM Globals

       Log level: set to FABU_LOG* values

           [ Global : int ] $FabricUtilsVerboseLevel

IBDM Objects

       This section describes the various object types exposed by IBDM.

       IBDM exposes some of its internal objects. The objects identifiers returned by the various
       function calls are formatted according to the following rules:

       Fabric: fabric:<idx>

       System: system:<fab idx>:<sys name>

       SysPort: sysport:<fab idx>:<sys name>:<port name>

       Node: node:<fab idx>:<node name>

       Port: port:<fab idx>:<node name>/<port num>

       IBDM Objects are standard Swig-Tcl objects. As such they have two flavors for their usage:
       Variables, Objects.

       Variables/Pointers:
          For each object attribute a "get" and "set" methods are provided.
          The format of the methods is: <class>_<attribute>_<get|set>.
          The "set" method is only available for read/write attributes.

          Example:
          set nodes [ibdm_get_nodes]
          set node  [lindex $nodes 0]
          IBNode_numPorts_get $node

       Objects:
          Given an object pointer one can convert it to a Tcl "Object"
          using the following command:
          <class> <obj_name> -this <obj pointer>

          Once declared the <obj-name> can be used in conjunction to
          with the standard "configure" and "cget" commands.

          Example (following the previous one):
          IBFabric VaTech -this $fabric
          VaTech cget -NodeByName

          To delete an object symbol (and enable its mapping to another
          pointer) use:
          rename <obj name> ""
          for example:
          rename VaTech ""

IBDM Functions

       This section provide the details about the functions IBDM exposes.  The order follows the
       expected order in a regular IBDM flow.  They all return 0 on succes.

   Subnet Utilities
       The file holds a set of utilities to be run on the subnet to mimic OpenSM initialization
       and analyze the results:
